The Passing of the Colonel.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The profuse and unauthorized use
OF military titles in the south is the
subject of a protest by a citizen of
Alabama. This unexpected blow is
delivered because OF the Alabama
protestant's own experience at ahote
in that state whose landlord intro
duced himself as ''the colonel" "Of
what regiment were you colonel"
'Never you mind" replied "the COL
onel," II am the colonel, and that is
enough for you to know" 1t was dis
covered subsequently that 1.-THE COL
onel" had been the keeper of a Jail
when the battles of the civil war were
fought and had run no risk of q casu-
atty. The disenchanted Alabama
objector now proposes that congress
should restrict the use of military
titles to regular army or militia Of
ficers.
1t is a safe rule to infer that when a
custom is laughed at it Is at least be-
ginning to lose ground. The Ala
bama exposure imperils the colonel
company who never warred, and
whose part in southern life, so far as
titles 90, is chiefly picturesque. In
due time even southerners will doubt
less own that the prefix "colonel' is as
meaningless as the esq" many New
Englanders bestow on the slightest
pretext.
